There are times that I think of how different my life is now compared to 6 months ago. I had a boyfriend then, who I ended up brreaking up with to enjoy being a single 21-year-old in college. I also had a dog...yes she was quite evil but she had been around since I was 6 so I loved her nonetheless, even though we didn't get along. And most importantly, my dad was still around. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, some days more then others, which tend to be harder. Many things I see remind me of him, every where I go. I can't help to smile at the thought of him, but get upset at the thought that he is no longer on this earth with my mom and I.
I have to remember that there is a reason for all of this. I know that he is with me, and watches over me every. That little voice in the back of my head, I know it's him at times, and some days I can feel him around. I really miss him, miss the life that I had 6 months ago.

Life: Live it up
Every day is a new day for us to enjoy. You never know what can happen, because any moment everything can change. We need to learn to let the little things in life go, and move on. When some one close to us passes away, we begin to have a new outlook on life; some times we might even change as a person.
“I try to live life to the fullest every day, and try to tell my family how much I love them because you never know what tomorrow will bring.” – Female, lost grandmother due to cancer
“Life can be too short, and we should live like it is and not take it for granted.” – Female, lost ex-boyfriend in a car accident
“I try to spend time with my friends and family, and cherish every moment of it.” – Female, lost grandfather due to cancer
That is just a couple of people’s new outlook on life after losing a loved one. Death is one of those eye openers that make us realize how short life really is. I hope that we can stop taking it for granted and just enjoy what we have been given. So stop complaining about petty stuff, be positive, and get livin’.

For reasons we may not know
Everything happens for a reason, and one day we will find that reason. We experience things in our lives that become eye openers, whether it is a close encounter with death, or an actual death of a loved one.
A friend of mine lost her ex-boyfriend in a car accident five years ago. She was very upset but it opened up her eyes: “It showed me that the decisions we make in life affect us, and even though we may think we are in control, it can be taken away.”
A reason that some people die is so that they do not suffer anymore. People who are in pain due to a chronic illness are suffering. They might not want to live that way, and when they die they are at peace. A girl in my neighborhood lost her grandfather about a week and a half ago to cancer, which has spread throughout his whole body. To help her cope she talked to her family, and they helped her realize that he was no longer in pain.
